The Federal Communications Commission has approved an application from Alphabet — Google’s parent company — to fly Project Loon balloons over Puerto Rico in an effort to provide emergency cell coverage to the island, according to Reuters.

Puerto Rico is still reeling in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria, which struck the island on Sept. 20 and paralyzing winds, rain and storm surge. When it hit, it was nearly a category 5 storm, and pummeled the island with gusts and rains for more than 30 hours.Two weeks later, most of the island still doesn’t have power or clean water. And for large portions of the island, cell coverage is still a pipe dream, too.

The world loves the OnePlus 5. It gets so many things right: It has a lengthy battery life, speedy performance and -crucially – it’s easy on the wallet, too. But there’s one major feature it was sorely lacking – 4K video stabilisation. It’s time to rejoice though, Electronic Image Stabilisation is here, and it works wonders.

The lack of proper video stabilisation was a big deal breaker for some, and was so detrimental that it rendered 4K recording entirely useless. This new over the air update mind you – OxygenOS 4.5.7 – fixes this. And, as you can see in my test footage against a OnePlus 5 without the update, does a phenomenal job at it, too.
